The brain is protected from any toxic or inflammatory molecule by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This physical barrier is located at the level of the blood vessel walls. Because of these barrier properties, the blood vessels are also impermeable to the passage of therapeutic molecules from the blood to the brain. The development of effective treatments against glioblastoma is thus limited due to the BBB that prevents most drugs injected in the bloodstream from getting into brain tissue where the tumour is seated. The SonoCloud-9 (SC9) is an investigational device using ultrasound technology and specially developed to open the BBB in the area of and surrounding the tumour. The transient opening of the BBB allows more drugs to reach the brain tumour tissue. Carboplatin is a chemotherapy that is approved to treat different cancer types alone or in combination with other drugs, and has been used in the treatment of glioblastoma. Despite its proven efficacy in the laboratory on glioblastoma cells, carboplatin does not readily cross the BBB in humans. A clinical trial has shown that in combination with the SonoCloud-9, more carboplatin can reach the brain tumour tissue. The objective of the proposed trial is to show that the association - carboplatin with the SonoCloud-9 - will increase efficacy of the drug in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

Overall survival (OS)
Survival status will be collected during the treatment period, for up to 7 months (short-term follow-up) and then every 3 months as standard of care follow-up (long-term follow-up) until participant's 'End of Study', defined as end of survival follow-up period, death, withdrawal of consent for the collection of data, or 'lost to follow-up' (whichever comes first).
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Tumor Growth Rate
Tumor Growth Rate will be determined by measuring hyperintense tumor volume using T1w contrast-enhancing tumor-related region from post-surgery MRI baseline to unequivocal progression MRI (i.e., suspected radiologic progression confirmed by repeat scan).
Time frame: Up to week 24
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Defined as the time from date of randomization to the earlier of the following events: unequivocal tumor progression as determined by IRC per RANO criteria or death due to any cause.
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Overall survival at 12 months (OS12)
Defined as the proportion of participants alive at 12 months
Time frame: 12 months
Overall survival at 18 months (OS18)
Defined as the proportion of participants alive at 18 months
Time frame: 18 months
Progression-free survival at 6 months (PFS6)
Defined as the proportion of participants without disease progression or death due to any cause at 6 months.
Time frame: 6 months
